Rouverol is a talented writer with credits in movies, TV, and magazines. She has written a memoir about her life, with her husband and their six children, in Mexico. At the height of the McCarthy era, the screenwriting couple fled the States to avoid testifying before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Rouverol's writing style is readable but overloaded with details that do not enhance her story, instead detracting from her account of why they migrated to Mexico.
